Let's dig deeper into this.

Vedanta Considers Second Interim Dividend Payout

Vedanta Limited, a mining and metals company, announced on Monday, 18 August, that its board of directors will meet on Thursday, 21 August 2025, to discuss and approve the second interim dividend on equity shares, if any, for the fiscal year 2025-2026.

The company also added that Wednesday, August 27, 2025, has been set as the record date for figuring out equity shareholders' entitlement to any dividends that may be declared.

In FY25, Vedanta distributed a dividend of Rs 43.5 per share to its shareholders in four separate tranches of Rs 4, Rs 11, Rs 20, and Rs 8.5 per share, respectively.

Vodafone Idea Explores Non-Banking Funding Options

Vodafone Idea (Vi) is exploring non-banking funding options for its capital expenditure plans due to uncertainty over AGR dues, which is delaying talks with traditional lenders, said outgoing CEO Akshaya Moondra during the June quarter earnings call.

Vi has requested that the government settle the AGR issue by March 2026 to increase lender confidence and obtain financing, as its lenders are awaiting clarification on AGR obligations before completing funding.

Vi is still hopeful that the issue, which has long been a significant obstacle to its fundraising efforts, will be resolved.

As it concentrates on maintaining near-term capital expenditures, the company also hinted that the amount of money needed might be less than the Rs 250 bn that was previously declared.

To raise a smaller debt tranche that can be accessed faster than traditional bank loans, Vi is concurrently working with private credit funds like Davidson Kempner, Oaktree, and Varde Partners.

Hindustan Zinc Expands Production Capacity

Hindustan Zinc Ltd., a company in the Vedanta group, announced Monday that its board had approved a plan to invest up to Rs 3,823 crore to establish a tailing reprocessing plant capable of processing 10 million tonnes annually.

As part of the company's plan to double its production capacity, the new unit is anticipated to be completed in 28 months.

Hindustan Zinc's board has approved setting up India's first zinc tailings reprocessing plant at Rampura Agucha in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district.

The finely ground residue that remains after mineral extraction is called tailings. Despite being regarded as waste, they contain a lot of leftover minerals and metals.

According to the company, the reprocessing unit will turn what was formerly regarded as waste into useful resources by extracting metals like zinc and silver from tailings that have already undergone processing.

Hindustan Zinc's CEO said the company has launched India's first tailings reprocessing plant at Rampura Agucha, which will responsibly handle waste and recover valuable metals, supporting innovation and the energy transition.

With an investment of almost Rs 12,000 crore, the company also stated that it intends to upgrade mines and milling infrastructure in several locations and increase the capacity of refined metal by 250 kilo tonnes annually.

According to the report, the expansions are strategically in line with the nation's anticipated doubling of zinc demand over the next five to ten years, which will be fuelled by significant investments in the steel and infrastructure industries.
